#iv infusion

Nurse education

So, medical professionals have props they practice things on. Cpr dummies, arms for infusion, things like that.

While getting out of the car one day, my mom goes, "Cmon, Janet" to seemingly nothing. After having Chester Chest and Presston ride with us, i could guess that Janet was another such prop. So i asked, "Another one?"

And she stops... looks hesitantly into her bag for a second... and says, "...its part of Janet. Im teaching a class how to put in catheters. We have Janet, and we have Joey, but Joey's seem to go missing, for some reason."

My mother's tools of the trade are disembodied cooches and dicks named Janet and Joey the Genitals.

And the Joeys get stolen.

Anyone with POTS who has a port, how do you like it? Be truthful please and tell me what sucks about having it, what the maintenance is like etc.

I've been having issues with my veins for infusions. There's some kind of scar tissue build up so some spots on my arms no longer work for infusions. I had to be poked in 4 different spots this time. It was done by 2 different people just to be sure it wasn't the one nurse messing up, and it wasn't.

One of the people poking me half heartedly recommended a port if I plan on doing infusions for a long while, and idk what to do with that information (I already messaged the Dr. just waiting on a reply with their recommendation).

After well over a year of going into the infusion center multiple times a week, we’re starting the process of setting up home infusion 🎉

The only sad part about it will be leaving my wonderful infusion nurses. They are such sweethearts and they treat me so well.

My very first home care nurse came to the house today, taught me how to set everything up. There’s no pump, just gravity so I’m attached to this bitch for the next 4 hours, lol. Gonna finish watching Stranger Things and First Kill.

I was today years old when I discovered I am the 1 in 100 that’s highly allergic to iron infusions despite being extremely anemic. Took three nurses to hold me down to give me a muscle shot to stop the anaphylaxis, because I was screaming at them not to do it and crying desperately for them to take it out. Just another joyful day of living with a chronic illness.

So I saw my rheumatologist today, it's clear Simponi isn't helping me so he put in the order to start Remicade infusions. Hopefully I'll be able to start that soon, I'm supposed to call the infusion center on Wednesday to confirm my order is good to go and ready to be scheduled. I hope it helps me, I've already gone through four self injectable biologics

Everything you need to know about air bubbles in your patient’s IV line.

How do we prevent them. How do we get rid of them. And do we need to worry about them in the first place? In most cases, it will require at least 50 mL of air to result in significant risk to life,…
